Should kids under 14 get jobs its unfair for the kids without allowence because their parents cant afford it as long as you can do the job and arent working too hard they should still be able to get a part-time job. Also their grades should do a big part of it too if they arent getting good grades then no job because they need to do good in school instead of making more money because when we grow up we all want to go to college but not with bad grades and thats another sugestion that might be good

agreed. i think most things based on age are arbitrary, useless and irrelevant. take smoking and drinking for example.

say there's a kid that's a day away from being 18. he can't buy cigarettes. the next day he's 18 he can buy cigarettes. does that 1 day REALLY matter? i mean i know it's got legal meaning but aside from that it's meaningless. does that 1 day mean he now know's the risks of smoking and he's now ready to accept the risk and assume responsibility more so than the day before?

back to the 14 year old working thing. i dont think there should be any reason not to hire a 14 year old if they can do the job and they're doing well in school
